Hip Hip Hooray for Jumperoo!!

We have gone through alot of changes...all but retiring our wonderful swing, our first bouncy seat and moving onto a new bigger one...then today! The WONDERFUL Jumperoo from our Grandma & Papa Cizek!! I hope this makes your day the way it did mine. Don't mind the top from our ottoman that is allowing my long baby to reach the floor! :-) How time flies!

My Big Girl & Cousin Time!

Abby is growing up so fast! I cannot believe in about 2 weeks we will start eating cereal. We have been eating dinner at the table as a family for about 3 weeks now. We put Abs in her high chair and she seems to be interested in what we are eating, especially her da-da. She has also started getting very angry when you lay her down. She wants to sit up like a big girl, but she isn't quite there so, go figure. Her love affair with the TV continues...I will have to say that Food Network is her fave. We tried out our Baby Einstein video today and she loved it. It was nice to put her in her new bouncy seat...we have outgrown our old one (see pictures below). She has also started grabbing for things, mostly stealing her own pacy and getting very mad when that happens. The other half of the time she holds onto the pacy and makes a sucking sound on it. It is fun to watch. She is such a joy and I am so proud to be her mother!

On Tuesday, we went to visit our Aunt Hollis & new cousin William (Little Will). He looks to tiny compared to the big girls, but I am sure he will catch up in no time. Addison & Abby had a great staring competition, and Abby was eyeing Addison's hand...I know she wanted to taste it and see if it tasted like Roast Beef like hers do :-)

That's all for now! We go for our 4 month appointment the 2nd week of August, and I cannot wait to see how much she has grown!

Tootles!!

WARNING....this may make you want to cry ( or maybe that was just me)

Abby at about 3 months and I week! Needless to say, we are in a new bouncy seat now!

Addison - 2 months & 2 weeks, William - 1 week, Abigail - 3 months & 2 weeks (give or take a day or two)

(Note: This is the only picture in which my precious sweet angel's legs aren't in the toetouch position. Addison is having a grand old time on Unc Will & Aunt Hollis' bed, William is just hoping one of these girls doesn't smack him with their crazy arms. :-) )

Happy Birthday William!!

I am proud to announcet that yesterday - Tuesday July 14th, 2009, the Marshall family added another special delivery, my nephew William Cantey Marshall, III.

He was born at 2:46pm and weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. He is adorable. It is amazing how tiny he looks - I asked everyone if Abby was that small, and she was close too it when we left the hospital. How fast these precious babies grow! Hollis was a trooper and looked wonderful! We are so excited to have our first little boy in the family! I know all of his uncles will love teaching him "manly" things :-) I know Abby & Addison will have him dressed in dresses and having tea parties before we know it! haha!!

By baby is growing up !!! On Monday, Abby rolled over a record 6 times. I finally caught it on video the last time. I will try to post it later. She is loving sitting up and looking around - she gets bored easily so we have to keep things interesting. Here are some pictures I took of my sweet angel last week! Enjoy!

And the oscar goes to....

Abby is quite the actress (already :-) ) Whenever I get the video camera out or my cell phone camera (like this video) to capture something cool she is doing like talking to her bumble bee, this happens....hope you enjoy my little rowdy baby and her wonderful acting skills!

3 Months Old!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009 - my sweet Abby will turn 3 months old! I cannot believe that she has been here with us that long already, or really what my life was like without her. We enjoy our day so much - we wake up happy, eat, play, nap and smile all day long. Our sweet baby very rarely gets mad, unless she is hungry or fighting sleep. She is already in 3 months clothes, and has been for about 3 weeks. She is so long, but still has a itty bitty waist!

Here are some pictures from our lazy Sunday at home. We had tummy time and she shocked both mommy & daddy. She has always done great during tummy time, but on Sunday she did this....

She held herself up for about 3 minutes, before getting tired! She loves the TV if you are wondering what she was looking at.

Those blue eyes! Get me everytime!!
